Re: [R] Specify feature weights in model prediction (CARET)

2011-03-17 Thread Kendric Wang
It was a general question to find out if the caret framework supported
passing feature weights to any predictive model. But I guess, it may only
make sense in the context of the model. The ones I am interested in would be
svm and knn.

Thanks,
Kendric

 No, sorry.
